To replace the indicator bulb located on the cap of the external rear-view mirror, you will need to disassemble the mirror. Begin by detaching the mirror from its support and disconnecting the wires for the heating system.

Next, remove the mirror support and the outer frame. At this point, you can extract the complete cap with the indicator by disconnecting the power wires of the bulb, detach the indicator lens, and remove the bulb holder to replace the bulb.

Then reverse the process to reassemble the mirror.
